International interest in the U.S. Presidential election is keen, even in relatively remote places like the northeastern Scandinavian country of Finland.
Lane Crothers is an ISU Professor of Politics and Government who has just returned from a ten month Fulbright fellowship in Finland.
Fulbright program funding originally came from Congressional action to allow foreign governments to sell weapons the U.S. Army had left behind in Europe after World War Two in exchange for using some of the proceeds to pay for visiting scholars and academic exchange programs
Crothers tells GLT's Charlie Schlenker about his observations of Finnish culture and about the view of U.S. politics from Finland.
